CHICAGO — White House officials are scheduled to meet with Congressional Steel Caucus leadership on Tuesday February 13 about the administration’s Section 232 investigation into steel imports, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The US Commerce Department brought the Section 232 petition versus steel imports - another petition is pending versus aluminium - last April. Trump has until mid-April to act on recommendations Commerce made last month.

Those findings have not been made public. The Section 232 recommendation is rumored to include a mix of tariffs and quotas intended to stymie imports.
